Well yea, don't install that POS! I just did to check your "vulnerability" 
it only excuted the files, did not download them, likely because I have all 
of the files set to non-readable by anyone but the owner.. and then once I 
saw that there was no danger, I uninstalled the POS and guess what... No 
more browsers.. I can not access the net via MSIE, which I was running at 
the time, Nor can I access it via Netscape, which I was not running at the 
time. All I can access the net with is my webTV emulator used for testing 
sites, and AOL, also used for testing sites. Both are accessing the net via 
my cable modem, so it's not my connection. Email works, ssh works, ftp works 
(I think) Yup.. FTP works.. But even after reinstalling windoze, I can not 
get either browser to access the net.

What a miserable piece of sofware and I use that term VERY losely!

So my advise is.. geezus, if you have installed it.. god, leave it in or 
you'll ruin your browsers.. if you have not DON'T !!!

Now.. how in hell I'm going to get this fixed I'll never know!

Damn, one of these days I'll learn not to believe everything I read on this 
system!

VERY PISSED
WS!
